Comrades, Writers, and Revolutionaries,

A better world isn’t just possible—it’s ours to build. The forces of capitalism, colonialism, and fascism thrive on division, despair, and despondency. But history tells a different story: one of resistance, solidarity, and revolutionary change. From the radical presses of the past to today’s independent media collectives, the fight for truth and justice has always needed spaces free from corporate influence and state control.

This is why we joined forces to create Solidarity Tribune. We are a collective, leftist, anti-market publication dedicated to exposing capitalism’s failures, amplifying the voices of those resisting oppression, and envisioning a liberated future built on solidarity, mutual aid, and direct action.

Why Independent Media Matters

The ruling class monopolized the corporate media landscape—controlled by billionaires, funded by advertisers, and designed to pacify rather than inform. This is not new. The radical press has long been a battleground, from the abolitionist newspapers of the 19th century to the underground publications of labor movements, anti-colonial struggles, and anti-fascist resistance.

Publications like the Industrial Workers of the World's Solidarity, the BPP’s The Black Panther, Amy Goodman’s Democracy Now!, and countless other radical journals serve as vital lifelines, educating, mobilizing, and uniting justice movements. Solidarity Tribune follows in this tradition.

What We Publish

We reject the capitalist media model in favor of a collective, consensus-driven approach where all contributors have a say. Our focus includes:

Abolition: Fighting against police and prison systems that serve capital, not people.
Antifascism: Strategies to dismantle authoritarianism and corporate rule.
Dual Power & Mutual Aid: Building community-led alternatives to capitalism.
Labor & Economy: Supporting workers, unions, and strike actions.
Radical History: Recovering and learning from past movements and overlooked revolutionaries.
Science, Tech, & Sustainability: Exposing how capitalism stifles progress and offering alternatives.
Queer & Mutual Liberation: Understanding how capitalism enforces division and oppression.
Education & Skill Building: Empowering people to reclaim knowledge and autonomy.
Utopian Futures: Imagining and strategizing toward a post-capitalist world.

How We Operate

Solidarity Tribune is structured collectively, with a peer-review process to ensure our work is sharp, impactful, and aligned with our mission. Writers, editors, and contributors engage in consensus-based decision-making, ensuring that our publication remains truly by the people, for the people—not dictated by corporate interests or state capture.
